Have you played an FPS before? Of course you have. What you may not have played, however, is the original Doom or Quake. If you have, you may know that John Carmack was the lead programmer behind both of these classic titles that really made the FPS genre popular.

Well, it was recently announced that Mr. Carmack will be joining the likes of Shigeru Miyamoto, Sid Meier, and Will Wright at this year’s Game Developer Conference as a holder of the Lifetime Achievement award.

Like I mentioned above, the original Doom and Quake are two games that helped revolutionize gaming and put FPS games in the spotlight so Carmack is definitely deserving of this award.
